Not that I have any ability to make this happen, but I’m curious if this is still a feature people are interested in and how it’s use is envisioned.
For example, is it machine responsiveness people want? Network bandwidth conservation? Etc…
- a simple “run from 9P to 6A then interrupt the backup even if not done” (aka don’t run when I’m likely to be using the computer)
- run for 2 hours every other hour (aka let other tasks have chance)
- run when machine “not in use” (aka don’t run when I’m at the keyboard)
- run when network “not in use” (aka don’t run when I’m watching Netflix)
- let two (or more) jobs flip back and forth rather than make one job wait until another is fully completed (aka faux multitasking)
- etc.
Note that I don’t know how doable it is with the current scheduler system so it’s likely a fairly big rewrite would be needed but until that possibly happens, it sounds like some Windows users have had luck with has SysInternals pssuspend tool:
